blinds, ceramic coating and electrical cable coatings
-Most common ways lead enters the body? - -Inhaling (breathing) and/or
Ingesting (eating)
-If lead gets in your body it may damage your - -Central and Peripheral
Nervous System, Cardiovascular System, and Kidneys. (Reproductive, too)
-The CDC recommends community prevention activities when children blood
lead levels are at least? - -10 ug/dl
-A medical procedure used to remove lead from blood is? - -Chelation
-How do we determine if we exceed OSHA's PEL? - -Personal air monitoring

may be created.
-Final clearance testing for a lead abatement project is performed using: - -
Surface wiping sampling.
, -The lead dust clearance levels of the current EPA regulations are? - -40
ug/ft2 for floors, 250 ug/ft for window sills and 400 ug/ft for window troughs.
-EPA certification recognizes the following work discipline: - -Inspector, Risk

for lead based paint must: - -Receive direct factory training by the

-Under Title X federally owned or assisted houses are to: - -Be evaluated for
lead-based paint, lead hazards, and have leave hazards controlled.
-Under sections 1012 and 1013 of Title X, there are different standards for
houses built prior to 1960 and those built between 1960 and 1978. But in all
such houses we must: - -Use safe work practices where work is performed.
